Municipalities

Municipalities are responsible for filing certain paperwork with the South Carolina Secretary of State’s Office. In the event that a municipality wishes to incorporate, it must submit an application to the Secretary of State’s Office. Additional information on this process can be found under the Municipal Incorporations page. While the Secretary of State’s Office does not oversee municipal annexations, all annexation paperwork must be filed with the Secretary of State’s Office. Additional information on this process may be found on the Municipal Annexations page.
